My sister who taught Navajo children on the Navajo reservation might not agree, too quickly. Over and over she saw the results of neglectful, alcoholic, abusive, addicted parents (where there were two) who never gave any sort of emotional, social or intellectual support and instead started these kids off in life as marginal sociopaths. Not always, but way too often.
Again confirming that "The teacher is not the problem". But your point is well taken and certainly valid.
